MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 11, 207 7:00 o'clock p.m. 16. #17-3962 LAKE WEST DEVELOPMENT, LCC, O/B/O RICK AND BARBARA LUPIENT, PIDs 20-117-23-0001/0002/0003 (Lots 1, 2 and 3 Casco Point Addition) "Ivy Place" PRELIMINARY PLAT — RESOLUTION NO. 6789 — Continued Seals commented anything the City can do to insure the road is not damaged would be welcomed. Curt Fretham, Lake West Development, stated as it relates to the amount of fill, while it sounds like a lot of material, that's because it is, but at the same time most other developments will also export a lot of fill out due to the excavation of basements. Fretham stated he understands the amount of truck traffic is a concern and that they will attempt to minimize the impact. Fretham indicated they are probably looking at 100 truckloads. There were no public comments regarding this item. Walsh stated he would prefer to give the developer some clarity on this application rather than tabling it subject to the conditions outlined in Staffs report. Barnhart stated the four action items include vacating the utility easement, reconfiguring the sewer easement along the shoreline, the establishment of a wetland buffer and the City's buffer setback, and a conditional use permit for the filling in the floodplain. Printup moved, Seals seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO., a Resolution Approving Preliminary Plat for the property identified as PIDs 20-117-23-42-0001/0002/0003, Lots 1, 2 and 3 Casco Point Addition, subject to the conditions outlined in Staffs report, subject to the items noted by Barnhart, and with the understanding that the driveway conditions in addition to the roadway conditions be verified pre- and post -construction. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. 17. #17-3932 YMCA OF GREATER TWIN CITIES, 135 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD NORTH, SKETCH PLAN Barnhart reviewed his Staff report dated September 11, 2017, regarding a sketch plan review on a proposed 15 -lot single-family development. The property consists of 3.4 acres and includes 19 acres of wetlands, 3.1 acres of wetland buffers, and two acres of conservation area, resulting in 15.3 acres of buildable area. The proposed lots range from 3/4 acre to 1.5 acre. The current zoning requires two acres of dry buildable land area for each lot. All lots would access off of a new road that terminates in a cul-de- sac. A trail connection to the Luce Line is proposed. The Planning Commission reviewed this sketch plan at their August meeting and felt uncomfortable with deviating from the Community Management Plan and the proposed density. A number of residents spoke at the meeting and expressed concerns with the density and the MUSA designation of the property. John Quinlivan, Gordon James Construction, stated the YMCA was gifted this property from the Rydells a number of years ago and that they are in the process of determining what would be appropriate for the site. Quinlivan noted city sewer is available in the street but this site is outside the MUSA boundary and that they would like to have the MUSA boundary changed to include this site. Quinlivan stated they would like to get some feedback from the City Council on their sketch plan.. Page 11 of 17
